Ukraine defies Trump by ruling out 2026 presidential elections
The Times ^ | Thursday March 19 2026 | Maxim Tucker

Ukraine should not hold elections this year, officials from the country’s electoral commission have concluded, setting Kyiv on a collision course with the United States.

Members of the official working group on elections were due to present draft legislation to parliament late last month, but told The Times they had yet to resolve key questions on how to secure fair elections free from Russian attacks or interference.

They plan to continue deliberating on the issue until at least the end of May. The group has agreed, however, that Ukraine should only enter a campaign period at least six months after the necessary legislation is debated, passed and a ceasefire is established, in effect ruling out a presidential ballot this year.

Dictatorships don’t go down easily.

It’s his Magic Pen-s driving him.

Zelensky is barking because he isn’t a big deal anymore. All that money that was pilfered from US taxpayers and they gave up their freedom for no freedom.

They don’t even get to vote. Oh well, they probably would just have had cheater elections like ours and Europe’s are anymore.

“Zelensky is barking because he isn’t a big deal anymore.”
True. Like a child acting out……because negative attention is better than no attention at all.

The entire Ukie government is corrupted and on the take. St Z isn’t the only corrupted one, their Rada (Congress) can change things and push to vote for elections.

Their entire government is one big filthy toilet….at least Trump is no longer flushing our tax $$$$$$ down that toilet.

If we could hold a presidential election during the Civil War, Ukraine can certainly hold an election.

“If we could hold a presidential election during the Civil War, “

We sure did. Both sides managed it. I triggered a Ukie when I mentioned the CSA managed it even though they were in a worse position than Ukraine. He came back with some argle-bargle that he was an American and it was a fake election because Jeffrson Davis was unopposed.
